Description

To improve existing theoretical models and obtain accurate values for fundamental constants, precise measurements of absolute nuclear charge radii are necessary. These can help in improving our knowledge of bound-state QED and aid in exploring new physics beyond the Standard Model.
While muonic atom spectroscopy is known for its precision, measuring 2p–1s transition energies for low-Z nuclei of 20–150 keV has proven to be challenging, due to the energy resolution limitations of solid-state detectors.
The QUARTET collaboration aims to improve these measurements by using a new metallic magnetic calorimeters detector to conduct high-precision X-ray spectroscopy of low-lying states in muonic atoms.
